Dr. Mike Abrams
Psychologist, PhD, MBA, ABPP
I limit my practice to a few clients with whom I can offer meaningful help. I do not think it is ethical for a psychologist to agree to work with someone who has a problem outside of their expertise or someone who has barriers that the psychologist suspects they cannot overcome. When I conclude that I can help someone, I collaborate with them while applying the most appropriate methods for their problems. I choose these methods from among the many I have studied or developed. This is sometimes called a Transdiagnostic Integrative technique. Here, a clinical label or diagnosis is less important than the unique collection of symptoms a person is living with. I also make sure that I come to understand the client's point of view, how their adversities, their personal philosophy, and their level of suffering combine to lead to their anxiety, depressed mood, or even anger. When the client agrees, I prefer to use psychological testing to be sure my assessment of the client's situation is supported by the best available science. When I conduct psychotherapy, I know it can only be effective when I view the client as presenting many intricate problems that must be fully understood, so each client's issues are approached as scientific hypotheses that guide therapy, which guide my specific interventions, but is always open to revision as new life history information or psychological data becomes available.
Since I have trained numerous therapists and continue researching and publishing in the field, my clients are assured they receiving the most effective evidence-based interventions. If you do see me, you can be confident that you will be unconditionally accepted in a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship with every effort being made to help you.

I believe that YOU are the expert in your life. I am simply here to offer insight and to help guide you to the answers that reside within.
I am an educator, a therapist, and a certified Parent Coach with a specialization in children and families. I have over 20 years of experience working in a variety of settings with a diverse mix of needs which include, speaking fluent teen lol (adolescent therapy), parenting skills, helping separated couples co-parent, family systems, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and defiant behaviors.
We all have challenges that we need to get through. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, open, and honest. I believe that the best work is done in a trusting and nurturing relationship.

Christina Andino
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You’ve been doing all you can to improve your situation, but it seems like you’ve hit a wall. The constant weight of anxiety, depression, or past trauma is taking its toll, affecting your work or studies and your connections with others. Burnout is creeping in, and you’re realizing you need some extra support. Maybe therapy is uncharted territory for you, and it’s natural to feel jittery about taking that first step. Together, we can devise a strategy to tackle and alleviate your stress. I’ll equip you with valuable tools for coping, communication, reshaping your perspective, and adjusting behaviors. My aim is to empower you, putting more control back into your hands over your own life.
